DLP 3D printing of scandia-stabilized zirconia ceramics

The present article aims to explore the printability of scandia-stabilized zirconia ceramic parts using desktop and low-cost DLP 3D printer. The acrylate-based homogeneous slurries with zirconia powder stabilized by 6 mol.% of Sc2O3 (6ScSZ) and 10 mol.% of Sc2O3 and 1 mol.% of Y2O3 (10Sc1YSZ) were prepared with appropriate rheological and UV-curing properties. In comparison with yttria-stabilized zirconia, slurries filled with 6ScSZ and 10Sc1YSZ...
